This consumption translates to roughly $2.65 billion annually.
Meta hires some super smart people. If all this token consumption by them does not lead to breakout technologies with massive usage growth, that’s an indictment of token-backed intelligence.
NEW: Meta employees consumed 73.7 trillion AI tokens in a single month. Which costs roughly $221 million a month and around $2.65 billion a year.

@deliprao Imagine if they gave their people a month off and said - go do whatever you want just create value
@deliprao It's very possible to do many more things while not doing the right things
@atelicinvest @deliprao You mean like how you’ve spent the past year with $3.5 in MRR to show for it ?
@ebitdaddy90 @deliprao
@deliprao They have some top folks, and they have some wheel spinners. Depends entirely on which group is using the tokens.
@deliprao smart people in a barrel of stupid can't do smart things
@deliprao No, they’re literally just running their LLMs in a circle to token max
@deliprao yep!
@deliprao One of the wisest thing anyone said to me is education is not a magic bullet and intelligence is no guarantee of success. The odds are pretty bad actually...
@deliprao How do you figure?
@alth0u
It is an indictment of leadership. Lack of organisational alignment. In Elon parlance, where are all those smart vectors pointed. Do they cancel out or move things forward. Does the total energy of the system increase relentlessly. What is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy of the company.
@deliprao Big token count doesnt prove progress on its own. That could just be a lot of autocomplete without any breakout application to show for it.
@deliprao Said the same thing
